Abstract Almost 20 years after the Congress established the Superfund hazardous waste program, about half (595) of the 1,231 sites in the program either are cleaned up or have the methods—remedies—in place to achieve cleanup. The Congress is now debating how much longer and how many more resources it will take to select remedies and complete cleanups at the remaining sites. To assist in this debate, you asked us to determine (1) the status in the Superfund cleanup process of the sites on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) list of the nation’s most hazardous sites, called the National Priorities List (NPL),1 and (2) for the 609 NPL sites we included in our review where cleanups have not been completed, what work has been accomplished, what work remains, and when the remaining work will be completed.
